A Jupyter Notebook Devcontainer for Golang

The Motivation

When I was searching for simple interactive notebook to play with Go, I've realized that options are very limited. The Gophernotes is the best option I was able to discover. Still following features were missing for me out of the box:

• Cross platform (Intel and ARM)
• Must work with VSCode Jupyter extension
• Portable (that means it should work on any machine with Docker or in the cloud)

The devcontainer provided in this repository helps to address this requirements.

How To Use

• Copy this repo by using + > Import Repository on Github or fork it.
• Open this repository with VScode on any machine with Docker. Remote Development extension pack must be installed first.
• Open the repository in devcontainer.
• Create your notebook or open test-go.ipynb
• Select Go kernel.
• Enjoy!

You can also run this devcontainer as Github Codespace by clicking Code > Codespaces > Create codespace on master. Check GH Codespaces documentation first.

Known Issues

The Jupyter VSCode extension is not displaying notebook content when opening a codespace with a notebook on iPad (Safari) or in Blink SSH app.

In some rare cases similar issue can be observed on your laptop. In that case add following to the .vscode > argv.json in your project root directory:

{
    "disable-hardware-acceleration": true
}

This workaround will not work on Codespaces.
